    While it's pretty linear and you can get through the game in about six to eight hours, younger players and those who don't go the walkthrough route will find it enjoyable to tackle the game at their leisure.

    Fans of the Zelda series, as well as anyone who’s keen on free-roaming adventure games, will be in handheld heaven.

    Much like the home consoles’ classics like Zelda and Fable, Eragon does an excellent job of combining solid RPG elements with user-friendly gameplay.

    Eragon is still an experience better read than played… but this one’s possibly the most playable of the lot.

    Eragon is short and the touch-screen controls don't work very well, but it's still a fairly decent action adventure game.

    Eragon will take about six to seven hours to beat with little reason to go back and do it all again. The game looks fantastic despite being a run-of-the-mill action/adventure game.

    If you’re wondering what it would be like to ride on the back of a giant dragon, crushing those who would dare to oppose you, go out and rent "The Neverending Story." You’ll have a better time than you would playing Eragon.

    I am enjoying it! It is nice to have an open area to fight in (like ffxll). Are the clay pots just decoration? I feel it is a great game.

The combat system is fluid and fun, with lots of variety. The damage physics and sound really feel like you're planting real hits on the enemies. The spell casting is a two part system of draw-first, then flick the spell from the touch screen. It's very satisfying. The huge landscapes are really engrossing, too, making this a really meaty adventure. Points off for abrubt ending and not much to bring you back, save for a complete replay sometime down the line when you're itching for some visceral kills.… Expand

Esta mecánica se ve bien en juegos por turnos como Tao´s adventure, pero aquí no.

    Argumentalmente hace lo que le da la gana, por un lado está la historia original del libro, por otro lado la mala adaptación de la película y por otro este juego.

    Prefiero la versión de GBA, tiene unas buenas mecánicas y es mucho más fiel al libro de lo que fue la película, recuperando personajes y lugares importantes.    … Expand
